Namnet Tethys
In Greek mythology, Tethys was a Titan goddess, wife of Oceanus, and mother of the river-gods and sea-nymphs.
In geological history, Tethys was the great ocean that separated the northern mega-continent known as Laurasia from its southern counterpart, Gondwana, from c. 245 to 66.4 million years ago. This name given was chosen in 1893 by the Austrian geologist Eduard Suess to describe this primeval body of water. The Tethys Ocean was eventually divided into the Indian and Atlantic oceans about the end of the Cretaceous time period as a result of the continental drift.
The Company’s logo was modelled after the way the earth’s continents
were positioned 152 million years ago.
